Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 154/36,1494/605
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 154,1494
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 154,1494 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,605 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,605 is 21780 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 154,1494
2 | 154, 1494 |
77, 747 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,7,11,14,22,77,154
Factors of 1494
List of positive integer factors of 1494 that divides 1494 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,83,166,249,498,747,1494
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 154,1494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 154,1494 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,605
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 154/36,1494/605 is 2/21780
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 36,605 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,605) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,605) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,605) = ( 36 × 605 ) / 1
LCM(36,605) = 21780 / 1
LCM(36,605) = 21780
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
